WASHINGTON D.C.
Anadolu Agency (AA) will open its Washington D.C. office Thursday as part of the news agency's "Centennial Vision" to become one of the top five news agencies in the world by 2020, when the agency will celebrate the 100th anniversary of its founding.
AA's new office in the heart of Washington D.C. will be inaugurated by Turkey's Deputy Prime Minister Ali Babacan and the agency's Europe & Americas Regional Director Ural Yesil. Prominent names from U.S. politics, think-tanks and the Turkish American society will also be attending the opening ceremony.
AA's Washington Bureau will cover news from across the U.S. and is set to become one of the most important news hubs in the country in the field of diplomacy, politics and finance.
Located one block away from The White House and within walking distance of the Capitol, the bureau will largely contribute to the Anadolu Agency's Turkish, English and Arabic broadcasting services.
As part of its centennial goal, AA has decided to divide its global network into five main regions including Europe, the Americas, Middle East-Africa, Asia-Caucasus, and Asia-Pacific.
AA's Washington D.C. office together with its New York office will cover news from not only the United States but also Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico and Chile and in time from over 60 countries.
